A Green Resources Guide for Building and Construction
It’s no surprise that the green market and eco-friendly products and services are on the rise. Everywhere you turn there is a new company being launched, a new product being introduced to the marketplace and new green services being offered. With all of the new products and services, it can be difficult to analyze and determine which ones are legitimate, and which ones make the most sense for you.
Here at Miron, we are highly committed to greening the construction industry. Everything we do, from how we construct buildings to how we operate our business, is impacted by our green initiatives.
